  I finished connecting all branches in chapter one of the demo. I moved the last scene to the chapter after to see if it helps with the pace, I'm not sure about it yet. Other than that I didn't add muc... Continue reading

  I've just learned too many variables can get overwhelming quickly even if you have a good system to store and reference them. Not that my system to organize them was/is lol Also, branching choises are... Continue reading

  I'm not gonna lie I started doubting the structure of the game. So I decided to see what others are doing. I've started and finished multiple playthroughs of Thicker Than (go play it! So worth it) for... Continue reading

  Like the title said. I'm only posting because if I don't I'll break the chain and I'd hate that to the core. Fun fact for whoever is still reading. I want to rewrite the game in twine when I'm done wi... Continue reading

  I made a poll for the update schedule, and more than half of all votes wanted a chapter update instead of a daily update. And so I'll stop updating the file every day. I don't know how I feel about it... Continue reading
